249 Slime Time gives you a deep green and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Green swings cool or warm depending on the base, so check it against the client's skin.
What you get in the bottle
- Leaves out the two usual irritants: HEMA and TPO are both absent from the DND 249 Slime Time formula.
- Smooth lay-down: a self-levelling texture means DND 249 Slime Time does not need a heavy coat to look even.
- Colour payoff: highly pigmented with good coverage, finished with a high-gloss shine.
- Range, not a token line: 288 shades, from soft neutrals through to statement colours.
- Gloss that holds: the cured finish stays high-shine for the life of the set as long as the top coat caps the free edge.

- Bench prep: shape, lift the cuticle back, buff off the gloss and dehydrate the plate.
- Lay the base: base gel thin and capped, then into the lamp.
- First pass: float DND 249 Slime Time on and let the self-levelling texture do the smoothing, then cure.
- Second pass: build to full opacity, cure.
- Seal: top gel over the whole nail, cure, wipe the tacky layer if there is one.
- Finish: cuticle oil and a sidewall check.
Where this shade gets booked
- Autumn and winter sets: green swings cool or warm depending on the base.
- Pairing work: it sits next to a gold accent nail or a matte top.
- Editorial nail art, where a glossy finish is what the client asked for.
How it compares with ordinary gel
Compared with the regular DND gel wall, this line swaps the formula rather than the colour range. You still get 288 shades and the same high-gloss finish, without HEMA and without TPO. DND 249 Slime Time ships as one option rather than a duo-or-single choice, so there is nothing to configure. A client with a known allergy should still patch test first.
Matching this shade across services
The point of a duo is that the client can leave with a bottle that matches the set. DND 249 Slime Time is mixed as a pair, so the air-dry lacquer reads as the same colour as the cured gel under normal light. Where the same code also exists as a dip powder, a salon can run gel, lacquer and dip off one shade code without a second colour match. Check the options on this page to see which formats ND carries for this code.
DND 249 Slime Time is stocked alongside the DND HEMA and TPO free collection, the whole gel and lacquer category and the whole gel and lacquer category.
